That would be OK with me, although I still think it would be easier for
us to disentangle the library standardisation effort from the language
standardisation effort.

I'd suggest

    Haskell.V2010.Data.List (just re-exports from V2011 where possible)
    Haskell.V2010.Prelude   (just re-exports from V2011 where possible)
    Haskell.V2011.Data.List
    Haskell.V2011.Prelude

with the implicit Prelude import being changed to
    Haskell.V<version>.Prelude
where <version> is that latest the compiler supports, unless you say
e.g. -XHaskell2010.


Thanks
